Information	Picture	Question
Category: Translation - Russian Approval Date: 9/19/2021 11:52 AM Family Surname: Gontovnik Country: Lithuania Date of Image: 1850	Click the picture to enlarge	Writings 1, 2, 3, and 4 were written in the margins of a 1850 Revision List from a village in Lithuania. It looks like the wording in Writings 1, 2, 3, and 4 are similar but not identical. I would like to get a full translation pointing out the differences in each. Also, writing 5 was written in the margin of a 1875 Lithuanian Revision List. Please help translate these words also. Thank you very much. Ed Shapiro edsbonebed@hotmail.com

Hello, Ed,
This penmanship is rather difficult to read.
Notations 1 and 2 read as follows: "This family was transferred to farmers "zemledelets" on March 8, 1854" There are a few other words I cannot decipher.

Notation 3 seems to read "Borukh Gantavin (last name is not clear) with.... daughters... on March 8, 1854..".

No. 4 "Borukh A.... transferred to farmers on September 15, 1854.."
No. 5 resembles a word "khlebopashtsam" - loosely translated as farmers, producing grains for bread.

Unfortunately, the handwriting is not clear for a better translation.
Best of luck in your research.
